CPKC Holiday Train Supporting Local Food Banks
byThe 2024 CPKC Holiday Train wraps up its cross-continent journey in the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver December 19 and 20, 2024. Trains will travel coast to coast this month, entertaining thousands with free concerts to raise funds and donations for local food banks along the way.
CPKC Holiday Train 2024 Free Concerts Supporting Food Banks
The CPKC Holiday Train tours Canada and the United States for its 26th anniversary, raising money, food and awareness for the important work that food banks do in their communities. Professional musicians will play free concerts from the brightly decorated train’s stage.
How the Event Works
When the train arrives it will pull to a safe stop in front of the crowd in attendance. The stage door lowers and the band opens with its first song. After that, a brief presentation takes place with local food bank officials and other dignitaries.
Once complete, the band resumes performing a mix of traditional and modern holiday-themed songs. The whole event lasts about 30 minutes, and once the band plays its farewell show, the boxcar door closes, and the train slips off into the night on its way to the next stop.
